Bluehost “Unlimited” Web Hosting Plans Have Worst Inode Limits
The Ironic Truth Behind “Unlimited” Hosting
Funny how the word "limit" always follows the word "unlimited" when unlimited web hosting plans are involved...eventually in the terms of use or question/answer sections. Inode refers to the number of files you can have on your account - that is the number of files counting everything - every file, every page, every image, every email. The limit Bluehost has set is 50,000, as stated on their help topics page:

HostGator Founder and CEO admitted “Unlimited” plans are just a marketing ploy – and they REALLY are
On the previous post we talked about how GoDaddy's web hosting plans advertise as being "Unlimited disk space" and "Unlimited bandwidth" when clearly they are not. So why does GoDaddy and other web hosting companies do it? Marketing strategy, tactic, ploy, some would even call it unfair advertising, cheating, or a scam... whatever you want to call it, the end point is to attract more buyers, cinch the sale, and increase sales. HostGator Founder and then CEO Brent

GoDaddy Web Hosting “Unlimited” Plans, Disk Space & Traffic Limits – Not really “Unlimited” anything
GoDaddy now advertises 100GB disk space and "Unlimited" bandwidth in its lowest web hosting plan called Economy, and both "Unlimited" disk space and "Unlimited" bandwidth in its higher web hosting plans, Deluxe and Ultimate, respectively. You might be thinking you are getting a great deal, but they are using the terms "Unlimited" (and we would say "Ultimate" too!) very loosely here. In fact, if you read the fine print in their Web Hosting Agreement, you will find that GoDaddy

Updated 2026: This article has been expanded to better explain how “unlimited” web hosting plans work and how resource limits are actually enforced.
When shopping for web hosting, you will often see plans advertised with “unlimited bandwidth,” “unlimited storage,” or “unlimited hosting.” At first glance, this sounds like an incredible offer: unlimited resources for a small monthly fee.
However, in reality, “unlimited” hosting is not literal. Every server and network connection has physical limits.
As Humpty Dumpty says in Through

How much disk space do you need for your web hosting?
You might be enticed to choose a web hosting plan because it advertises "unlimited disk space". But how valuable is that disk space? Read the fine print in the Terms of Service (TOS) and you will find that there are limits in the amount of resources your website can use, thus limiting the amount of traffic and website activity. If your website visitors can't view your webpages/content or interact on your website, or even access your website, then what's the... Continue reading
